well I had a condo in Bangkok for almost 10 years, with lots of upgrades real wood floors, but I sold it eventually at a loss and it sold today you would even be at a bigger loss, there is no control of building in Thailand and prices are crashing!!! A huge oversupply of condominiums. I know lots of people but I bought in Thailand and I know lots of people that are not going to make any money, plus when you sell the government takes a nice chunk of change !!!!
